Nice

PUMPING Janbruun I first surfed outside corner Uluwatu in 1980. I went back in 2006 got outside corner pumping again but too crowded. Uluwatu is more crowded than Burleigh

Yep I surfed it very early 80,s too and keeped surfing it for thirty years. But last year first sup year , had a ball. If it gets really big every one goes to Padang so you get it to your self.
Love it. Sup

Thanks rob. Might make it up to Goldie next week if swell arrives.

Very bagus!

Have a friend going up with ski if it gets big but the sups coming as well just in case the sweep is manageable , will look you up and Dale ,

Very nice waves and great pics... what board were you riding ?

8,0 ripper psh

thats awesome

I wrapped my paddles in bubble wrap and tape to sup deck and put towels on top. Over cautious I am. But I saw a guy tape his paddle to his sup bag no protection ,it was fine, up to you.

taped to the board with the blade's edge up or down?

Great photos , JB,

Reminded me of a time when I piked out on a surf there one day .

We had walked down from the road ( couldn't drive down at that time about 1980 or 81 )

As we got closer the person carrying my board started making oohhh noises , we could then here the gigantic " slapping sound " of the lip hitting flat water!!

Took one look at it and said "no way"

Just sat on the top of the cliff in the hut and watched . we think someone said it was Martin Potter , doing vertical under the lip re-entry's awesome surfing .

Not many other people surfing it that day ....to big .

The first time I surfed it ,I did a bottom turn and got absolutely smashed , wasn't ready for the power / speed of it .


There was a couple of boards snapped ,

Yeh Sands I had similiar experience, been there numerous times but this time before dawn paddled out with out checking it out first, got out just passed racetracks, got hit a couple times by what was a reasonable size set, kept going, then this effyn set from the horizon came in bigger then any freight trains i have seen, scraped over the top of each wave, effyn freaked, then another set came in bigger, man I reckon I had paddled half way back to Australia, mmm then I had to get in before the tide was in and the sweep pushed you past the cave, that was a trail also... way outa my depth but survived, certainly a place to respect

Sorry leave indicators to short boarder now and jonny boy.

Blade edge down on grip. With some bubble wrap under paddle gap for strength so it can't crack or break. As I said over cautious

thanks I would have thought blade edge up not sure if bubble wrap will keep it from snapping with a hard knock
